LANGKAWI – A compound will be issued against celebrity Neelofa and her husband, Haris Ismail, if it is found that their visit to the island here has breached movement control order (MCO) standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador said interstate travel permission was given to Neelofa – full name Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor – for only work purposes.

However, he said several photos, which have been circulating on social media, shared by the entrepreneur show that the couple are having a holiday trip.

“If she fails to provide evidence, we will issue a compound against her. We will investigate whether it is part of her business visit.

“(Based on the photos), it looks like they were doing leisure activities, which is not allowed as she comes from a state that is placed under the conditional MCO.”

Hamid stressed that police are being fair and not practising double standards in taking action against any violation of SOPs set by the government. – Bernama, April 4, 2021
